Advanced Micro Sensors
for Industrial Process Monitoring

​

Asphaltene accumulation and corrosion plugs the wellbore tubing and valves. It can also obstruct separators and pipelines. For years the industry has implemented measures that are not cost effective due to the inability to measure asphaltene levels real-time.

​

The Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) on-chip sensor can be used for permanent online monitoring and prediction of asphaltenes deposition and corrosion onset. Data processing and analytics software connect with the sensor and provide key insights to production systems. It replaces large and expensive equipment traditionally used to monitor buildup or damage.
